The most exciting tech metal album debut this year, blending Thrash, Prog, Power, and melody into a new alloy of scorching molten metal sounding a bit like if you tossed TESTAMENT, ZERO HOUR and SYMPHONY X and ALICE IN CHAINS into a blender with a few ice cubes possibly?

Here we have a technical metal band, the ferocity of their playing is only matched by the amount of melody brought forth by vocalist Fred MarshalL (Ex — Zero Hour), Fred brings forth an interesting vibe similar to that of Layne Staley, yet not soundling like him. Featuring veteran rhythm section Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Autopsy, Control Denied, Testament, Vintersorg, Iced Earth, and Sadus) and Jon Allen (Sadus, Testament, and Dragonlord) Christian Wentz (Circle II Circle) and one of the most downloaded guitarists from mp3.com Mark Pattison.
